When it comes to your health, you can choose to invest your energy and resources upfront into foods and practices that support wellness and longevity, or you can pay later into the broken, bureaucratic system that we now call "healthcare"

When’s the last time your check engine light came on in your car? How much easier would it be to cover up the light, versus bringing it to the shop to get fixed? I mean, you’d get to keep driving your car and not be inconvenienced by the extra work. Later down the road your car might break down but for now you’re good, right?

Now let's apply the same idea to the human body...

When I was in the Navy, defending freedom across the globe, I developed a back problem called Ankylosing Spondylitis that causes constant pain in my back, hips, and spine. Instead of fixing the problem, I was given enough ibuprofen to sedate a horse (which did make the pain go away) but never told how to FIX the problem. Not only that, but to counteract the stomach acid problems associated with ibuprofen, I was also given more pills! YAY!

Pharma doesn’t make money by fixing the underlying cause, they need to suppress the symptoms as long as possible to keep profits flowing. Better yet, most of their pills cause more health problems and result in you taking more pills!

The US spends $4 trillion per year on healthcare, (an estimated $1 trillion wasted due to administrative errors, fraud, and unnecessary treatment) yet we are the sickest nation in the history of the world! We’re not here to say that there is no time and place for conventional western medicine, but many of the chronic health problems we face today are both treatable and preventable through real food solutions.

Today...

250 million Americans are obese or overweight
130 million Americans have diabetes or pre diabetes
50 million have autoimmune disease
60% of Americans have heart disease

We’ve been tricked into believing real food isn’t tasty or that it has to be overpriced and pretentious. Mac & Stees was created to unite delicious, flavorful food that actually nourishes your body while disproving both these myths and helping you heal from years of popping pills!

Does Big Pharma want to fix your health problems?

Does Big Pharma want to perpetuate the use of their drugs (and profits)?

OF COURSE

So how can you help your family's chronic ailments?
